The Tallest Cliff In The Solar System

The video explores a hypothetical scenario where you are on Miranda, a moon of Uranus, facing a 20 km drop from Verona Rupes, the tallest cliff in the solar system. Due to Miranda's weak gravity and lack of atmosphere, a fall would take 12 minutes, reaching a speed of 200 km/h. The video discusses Miranda's characteristics, including its size, density, and gravity, and explains the dynamics of falling without air resistance. It also touches on the possible formation of Verona Rupes and concludes with the potential outcomes of such a fall.

Describe the gravitational conditions on Miranda and how they affect a jump from the cliff.
